Class begun with sanshin gogyo no kata and then moved into practicing jumonji no kata from the koshi kihon sanpo. This was done in the usual format of the tori in the center with everyone else lined up to be uke. After that round we did it again slightly different. Now when the uke throws the first attack you forget about the uke nagashi and go straight for the boshiken. When the second attack comes you go straight for a fudoken tsuki to the face. Doug talked about the uke performing ukemi in response to the tori's atemi. Rather then being a tough guy and taking the punch, just go with it. So, when the uke was struck by the fudoken he or she would perform gyaku nagare, or gyaku zenpou kaiten. Optionally one could perform an oten. We noticed several opportunities to sneak kicks in as the uke would perform the ukemi but we didn't do that. I think it would be easier with the oten than the kaiten because less thought would be involved. With the oten one is likely to accidentally kick the tori but with the kaiten one has to think about kicking the tori.
Water break.
Next we moved into practicing tsuki komi, first with the boken, then empty hand, then with the rokushaku bo. With the boken and bo we did both versions, seimesen and shisen. It was nice to use a bo because everything lately has been sword or empty hand. Then we did tsuki kake with the boken. The boken and empty hand versions were the same as the last time so I won't go into that.
Uke and tori have a bo.
- Seimesen Tsuki Komi with Rokushaku Bo
Uke is in ihen or jodan no kamae and does the standard attack. Tori is in shizen no kamae. Step off the line of attack and angle the bo so that the uke's face runs into it.
- Shisen Tsuki Komi with Rokushaku Bo
Uke is in ihen or jodan no kamae and does the standard attack. Tori is in hira ichimonji no kamae. Step back and lightly parry the attack. Shift in to tsuki the uke in the face.
Gambatte!
